Client Background

Integrated Fitness & Sports Institute (IFSI) provides courses and certification for individuals aspiring to be Personal Fitness Trainers. It is founded in 2015 by Mr. Nikhil Ashtewale, a two times national powerlifting champion. With its HQ in Mumbai, IFSI alumni are working all across India as Fitness Trainers, Group Exercise Instructors, Sports Coaches, Yoga Instructors and Nutrition Counselors.

Industry Overview

The fitness community in India is largely unorganized. IFSI is among the very few trusted institutions that offer certifications for gym trainers and sport instructors. Due to the pandemic, people became more conscious about their health and fitness. As a result, this industry is set to grow multifold on the back of supportive government policies.

The Rise of Digi-FITNESS

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, all fitness institutions were forced to close. As a result the entire industry had to pivot to a fully-digital model.

The Ask

Establish the Brand’s digital presence with a social media and SEO-optimized website.

Goals

1 Get more leads organically as well as through Google Ad campaigns.

2 Encourage visits by optimizing the site for search engines.

The Hurdles

  • Before the pandemic, IFSI was the go-to institute for fitness enthusiasts. But in 2020, when the world was forced move fully online, IFSI had a poorly optimised digital presence.
  • We had to establish IFSI’s digital identity from scratch. An identity that would match the respect and prestige it had while conducting their operations offline.
  • Their search engine visibility
    was extremely low.
  • IFSI wanted target a niche audience within the fitness community. They wanted people eager to pursue a career in the field and not just regular gym-goers (who are easy to target.)

Our Plan

Complete on-page and link building strategy

Due the dynamic nature of the website, we opted for a complete on-page and link building strategy.

Keyword Research

We conducted exhaustive research to find the right keywords and based on the identified keywords, we optimized the target landing pages.

Course-wise Pages

Ranking a website is easier when it caters to a certain demographic. Therefore having individual course pages for nutrition, fitness, yoga, etc. helped us target a broad range of audience and improve the client’s digital brand awareness.

Article submissions on Quora

Fitness community asks genuine questions on Quora. We provided constructive answers to those questions with our articles. This strategy proved to be quite effective.
